Table 77.1 to Table 77.5 present a list of freely available software for the solution of linear algebra problems.
The interest is in software for high-performance computers that is available in “open source” form on
the Web for solving problems in numerical linear algebra, specifically dense, sparse direct and iterative
systems, and sparse iterative eigenvalue problems.
Additional pointers to software can be found at:
www.nhse.org/rib/repositories/nhse/catalog/#Numerical Programs and
Routines.
A survey of Iterative Linear System Solver Packages can be found at:
www.netlib.org/utk/papers/iterative-survey.
